5.1 Connections
Follow the steps mentioned below to connect the vehicle:
1. Turn OFF the ignition key.
Fig. 5-1
2. Locate vehicle’s DLC socket: The DLC (Data Link
Connector) is the standardized 16-cavity connector where
diagnostic code readers interface with the vehicle’s on-
board computer. It is usually located 12 inches from the
center of the instrument panel (dash), under or around
the driver’s side for most vehicles. If Data Link Connector
is not located under dashboard, a label should be there
telling location. For some Asian and European vehicles,
the DLC is located behind the ashtray and the ashtray
must be removed to access the connector.
If the DLC cannot be found, refer to the vehicle’s service
manual for the location.

3. Plug one end of the diagnostic cable to DB-15 connector
of the tablet, and tighten the captive screws. Connect the
other end to the vehicles OBD II DLC (Note: Make sure
that Vehicle battery voltage range should be 11.4-14V).
